Dapper

Aren't .NET and Mono both from Microsoft, or are you targeting some other platform?

Does anyone here use the Dapper ORM?

I have heard of Dapper, and that is about all. I have the most experience with EF but I am not going on the record to say that it is the best. I'm sure there are applications best suited for Dapper. I found this to be interesting. The conclusion at the end is the most important. Dapper looks to be faster in a lot of respects. Interesting.

Dapper is written in C# which is from Microsoft too :-)

He he - there is no escaping - is there?

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I've been using Dapper's spinoff NPoco for a couple of years in a large work project and it's worked out mostly great. The good: 1. Lightning fast, just a fraction slower than bare-bones ADO.NET. 2. No surprise SQL, you know exactly what SQL is sent to the server because you wrote it yourself (unless it's a simple single-table CRUD operation that NPoco generates itself). 3. Latest versions come with Linq expressions support. Back when our project got started there was no Linq support in NPoco and I ended up writing my own Linq-like repository wrapper. (I've made several other customizations to NPoco not all of which have made it into the official codebase, so I can't upgrade.) The bad: 1. No support for the JOIN syntax in NPoco's Linq implementation. Depending on how you look at it, this can be either a deficiency or a blessing (given how ugly SQL can get with auto-generated joins in EF and other full-feature ORMs). 2. The API can be a little confusing with too many overloaded methods and methods with different names but similar functionality.

Not that one, but I have used something called 'PetaPoco', which is kinda based on Dapper. The nice thing, to me, is it is a single .cs file that can be included right in you solution. He also has a later version that is a normal assembly. You will probably need to google 'PetaPoco' to find it.
NPoco is the latest version of PetaPoco and is still being actively maintained.

Dapper is considerably faster than EF. And I also believe that it was written BY Stackoverflow. GitHub - StackExchange/dapper-dot-net: Dapper - a simple object mapper for .Net[^]

I see that. Interesting. Thanks for the info.

EF 6 has more optimizations than before, and is more powerful IMHO then 4 or 5. Any reason why you can't use that?
The biggest reason I use Dapper, sometimes I just want to create some POCOs and have them access the db. With Dapper all I need is a connection string and my classes..

When you pry the gun from my cold dead hands, be careful - the barrel will be very hot. - JSOP, 2013I used it for a project. I didn't use any of the object-relational mapping, but I liked that I could swap this:
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
string sql = @"select * from MyTable";
SqlCommand cmd = new SqlCommand(sql, conn);
conn.Open();
SqlDataReader rdr = cmd.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.CloseConnection);
if (rdr.HasRows)
{
while (rdr.Read())
{
//do something with record
}
rdr.Close();
}with this:
SqlConnection conn = new SqlConnection(connString);
string sql = @"select * from MyTable";
IEnumerable flatResult = conn.Query(sql);I thought that was pretty handy, especially for quick prototyping where the table and field names were changing a lot and I didn't want to hassle with altering all the field names and just wanted a quick resultset back.

Inline SQL for anything (C# code files, etc.) is strongly discouraged at our shop, but I see your point. :)
